Chris, do you really need to proxy symbols?  My guess is that for
performance reasons alone it would make sense to have small objects like
symbols come across the wire immediately instead of being proxied out.
And you're going to have to solve the problem of doing prefetching for
certain types anyway, because even if you solve this hashing problem, you
can't becomeForward: into a SmallInteger either.
